Our 1st station was to fill up our tummy, so we went to New World Park's food court to have our breakfast.
There got varieties of Penang's famous food, but the foods were just "ma ma dei" only.
The price is slightly expensive, but the quality.....=.="(You know I know la)...XD

After that, our next station was "Kek Lok Si" temple. There are a lot of statues and idols for people to worship. We got the chance to get to top of the temple to see the famous bronze "Kuan Yin" statue, but the statue was not finished yet. However, we manage to take some pictures at there. On top of that, the twelve zodiac statue can be found there.





These are photos taken during the "Kek Lok Si" temple visit.

After having our breakfast, we went to the beach.
2 of our members were dropped into the sea.
Then, Tan Ni Ni played dead by fainting.
Our vice chairman, Chiong Chung Liang,
a former Red Cresent expert was tricked and gave him first aid treatment.
The play ended when one of the coastguard arrived and tried to rescue Tan NI NI also.

Later that afternoon, we went to Penang War Museum.
The admission was Rm12 but it was worth it.
From there, we learnt a lot about our country's history.


Thus was once a site for the cannon during the British era.
During the Japanese era, it was used for torturing POWs.
An escape tunnel found in one of the bunkers.








General Yamashita's hanging spot. The ropes are real and was never been replaced.

Barracks for the armies.
The Japanese used it for keeping and torturing hostages.
